Tails You Lose, Heads We Win! How Is That as a Formula for Success? [Quote – 123]

Published By Categorised as Quote-Unquote, Quote-Unquote – Book II (101-200)

I love this equation: When “They” do it, it is Indoctrination and Propaganda and Brainwashing.

But when “We” do it, it is Education and Socialization and Enlightenment.

And it doesn’t really matter who “They” are or who “We” are. It is almost as fool-proof a formula for personal success for anyone as “Tails You Lose, Heads We Win!”

How can anyone go wrong with something like that? That is why Tyrants in every time and place have always resorted to denying Free Speech to their victims.
